Overage Fees?

Prepaid with overage fees? How exactly does that work?

Menno

It deducts from your balance you have on account. These arn't normal prepaid plans, they're verizon monthly plans that don't require a security deposit.

Plan question

So, according to this, if I get the prepaid basic and add $30/month, I can get .25/min voice and unlimited data?

Or am I missing something?

You are missing something. You have to get the monthly talk or talk n text plans. 450, 900 or unlim minutes plus data.

Pre and Pixi Plus

Anyone know if the prepaid versions of the Palm will allow you to use them as a wifi hotspot?

trinbago

Not at this time from my understanding. No mifi or tethering.

Wow!

I have to admit the idea of being able to get a Droid 2 or X with no contract is pretty tempting. I wonder how much the full price for one of those bad boys is.

560ish + tax. I know my owner (indirect agent) is probably going to try to get 600+ since cost on these devices is still high.
